"TAINTED OBLIGATIONS" (As performed by the Community Trolls)
Chords by: Chris Bray (cbray@comp.uark.edu)
(This song has Michael Stipe singing lead vocals, and can be found on a number
of R.E.M. bootlegs, including "Those Were the Days", "Life's Rich Pageant
and More". I'm also pretty sure that Matthew Sweet is singing backing vocals.)
(D) (G) (D)
I saw the shoals at night, with the moon above.
(A7sus4)
I felt an obligation, and heard your voice again.
(D) (G)
If you were here once, you were here a hundred times.
(D) (A7sus4)
If I reached out tonight, I found I couldn't fight it.
BAB
If you were here once, you were here a hundred times.
A
Ohhhhhh
[ Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/c/community_trolls/tainted_obligations_crd.html ]DGD
Best as a wishing star, I saw you better far away,
A7sus4
and I felt obligation, and heard your voice again.
DGD
Hear the rush of water, passing over the shoals.
A7sus4
Hear my heartbeat rather, if I reached out tonight.
BAB
If I reach out tonight and find I can't fight it,
A
and look to the stars, and wander towards a
DGD
heartfelt obligation, a place that you called home
A7sus4
and heard your voice again, but it's too late.
DG
You left long ago, and now you're probably dead and gone,
DA7sus4BA
and I'm left here with the water and the shoals and a tainted obligation.
BA
Ohhhhhh
